San Antonio Days 6,7, and 8

Finally finishing up our trip.  It was very busy every day, so when things slowed down towards the end I was pretty happy.  On Thursday we had lunch play date plans and dinner play date plans with former co-workers and friends of mine. 

For lunch we met my friend Amanda, she and I worked in the same group at Frost & Sullivan.  We bonded over hating the job, our bosses and even lived in the same apartment complex for a bit.  What is even more fun, is that our boys (Gabe and Andrew) are a little over a month apart in age.  We met up at Willie's for burgers and let the boys play in the big sandbox.  I have zero pictures of any of this...shocking.  We caught up and compared how the boys are growing.  Both boys had a lot of fun playing and chasing the birds.  Towards the end, we tried for a group picture, however Gabriel had enough and the pictures that Amanda got Gabe is screaming.  It's fun leaving a place with a kicking and screaming 2 year old...It's so tough being a toddler. 

We got back to my parents and the boys napped.  Scott and I ran a couple errands and a Starbucks day date for some relaxing. 

For dinner we loaded up the boys and heads to Bigz Burgers for dinner to meet Kendra and Jason.  Jason and I worked together at Frost & Sullivan, our group hung out at many after work happy hours - we all hated the job.  They have a little boy(Charlie) a year younger than Gabe and a year older than Bennett. 

We got there early and hung out eating French fries, straw wrappers and drinking milk. 

We had a great time catching up and then letting the boys play in the big field area behind the restaurant. Next time we go, I'm bringing a soccer ball for Gabe to play. 

On Friday it was my mom's birthday.  My mom and I went to lunch at Pam's Patio then did a little shopping while Scott hung out at the house with the boys.

Before we left on Saturday we went to check out a new playground that was built after I moved.  We had a lot of fun.

Someone wasn't feeling the pictures

We drove from San Antonio to Tulsa on the way home.  We stopped in Dallas to visit my friend Kelly.  Plus, Scott and I needed a night's sleep before finishing up the trip.
